react-native: Android build of clean sample project fails during dependency resolution

Description

When I setup a fresh project as per the docs using:

npx react-native@latest init RNTestApp

And then try to run it using:

 npx react-native run-android

I get this error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Could not determine the dependencies of task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
> Could not determine the dependencies of null.
   > Cannot query the value of this provider because it has no value available.

* Try:

@cnixbtc yes please try to build with Java 11 and report back. I’m not aware of any incompatibilities between Java 17 and React Native 0.72, but this could be one.

~~Facing the same issue here.~~

~~If I use Java 11, I’m getting below error~~

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.
> Failed to apply plugin 'com.android.internal.application'.
   > Android Gradle plugin requires Java 17 to run. You are currently using Java 11.
      Your current JDK is located in /opt/homebrew/Cellar/openjdk@11/11.0.19/libexec/openjdk.jdk/Contents/Home
      You can try some of the following options:
       - changing the IDE settings.
       - changing the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
       - changing `org.gradle.java.home` in `gradle.properties`.

~~And if I go with Java 17 then it results in~~

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Could not determine the dependencies of task ':react-native:packages:react-native:ReactAndroid:bundleLibCompileToJarDebug'.
> Could not create task ':react-native:packages:react-native:ReactAndroid:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
   > Failed to calculate the value of task ':react-native:packages:react-native:ReactAndroid:compileDebugJavaWithJavac' property 'javaCompiler'.
      > No matching toolchains found for requested specification: {languageVersion=11, vendor=any, implementation=vendor-specific}.
         > No locally installed toolchains match (see https://docs.gradle.org/8.0.1/userguide/toolchains.html#sec:auto_detection) and toolchain download repositories have not been configured (see https://docs.gradle.org/8.0.1/userguide/toolchains.html#sub:download_repositories).

My issue got sorted out after I manually placed both jdk 17 & jdk 11 under ~/.gradle/jdks folder. Gradle was not auto downloading the jdks required in the toolchain.

will retry later this week and report back.

maybe it’s because your Java version is 17 and not 11?
